It didn't take long for Wisconsin to shake off any potential rust following a long bye week. From the first drive of the game to the final quarterback kneel down, the Badgers dominated the Boilermakers in their 37-0 blowout win. Now, it's time for the popular weekly feature: The Hot 11.

The sixth installment of the 2009 regular season is based on momentum and individual play this season. One bad game won't necessarily move a player off, but it could cause a player to slide down the board as new players start to emerge.

By no means is the list perfect, that is why BadgerBlitz.com encourages everyone to head over to The Badgers' Den to offer their own opinions.

After Saturday's game, Clay said he was completely fine with Kendricks running the ball inside the 10 yard line before being tackled. Because in the end, he is the one that reaps the benefits. His three touchdowns and 123 yards against the Boilermakers was enough evidence to prove it.

As a true freshman, Borland is really making a case to be Big Ten freshman of the year on the defensive side of the ball. Against Purdue, he logged four tackles, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

UW loves running the end around play to its wide receivers. Against Purdue, the Badgers tried running it to Kendricks and it worked to perfectly. By the end of the game, Kendricks had 91 yards rushing on only four carries.

Not only did Smith have an interception that set up a second quarter touchdown, but he nearly had a forced fumble when he ripped the ball out of the Purdue wide receiver's hands. He also made a couple tackles on special teams.

Watt had three tackles and a tackle-for-loss against the Boilers. His performance, which helped earn him team MVP honors for the game, was largely due to the increased attention to Schofield. Still, Watt has been playing at a high level in recent weeks.

Tolzien entered Saturday's game following two games where he struggled. Against Purdue, he only threw the ball 13 times, but he never turned it over. He was an effective game manager throughout the first three quarters of the game.
